If memory serves, there are references to using a muddler as a dry fly in the
literature.

I've had some luck fishing a muddler dry. One day on Spring Creek a
nice fish was sipping something too small for me to see, although it
was only about 15 feet away.

Since I couldn't imitate it, I tried a #12 muddler. The 15-inch trout
took it on the first cast.

Try that sometime.
